Answers:
I work in a Pedorthics phacility in GA and from what we are taught!.!.!.!.
Tendonitis is caused by damaging the tendon that runs along the back of your ankle, under your heel and the lenght of your foot to the ball area!. A high heel/pump shoe while walking has changed the layout of your foot and forces the entire presure of your gait to land directly on the tendon in question at both the heel and at the ball!.!.!. also a pump causes extra tention in the arch of the foot because it gives no support during impact!.
Your foot is a very important part of your body and for a normal persons day they cant place the equivilant pressure of a fully-loading cement truck on your feet!.
Imagine that without any padding, support or even the minimum of being erganomically correct!.

For the secon part of your question!. There is more in the insole for treating Achilles Tendonitis that just a heel cup!. We also incorporate arch support (for all 3 of the arches in your foot) as well as a heel cup to try and reduce the presure directly on the tendon and to try and make up for foot fat-pad atrophy which can occur with tendonitis

I hope this helps

I have it, and the really high heel hurts it!. I know I need at least 1!.5 inches, but higher aggravates it!.

Dont wear those really flat sandals- ouch!.

I think the higher ones put too much pressure on it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
